Are you in need of a new smoke detector?
The Moon Township Volunteer Fire Company has partnered with The Home Depot to provide free smoke detectors for residents of Moon Township.
More than a third of all of the homes in Moon Township do not have a single working smoke detector. We want to change that.
Thanks to The Home Depot's generous contribution of providing our fire company with hundreds of these units, we are now closer to our goal of ensuring all homes in the community have at least one working smoke detector.

Smoke Detector Facts & Statistics
- In 2009-2013, smoke alarms sounded in more than half (53%) of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments.
- Three of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms (38%) or no working smoke alarms (21%).
- The death rate per 100 reported home fires was more than twice as high in homes that did not have any working smoke alarms compared to the rate in homes with working smoke alarms (1.18 deaths vs. 0.53 deaths per 100 fires).
- In fires in which the smoke alarms were present but did not operate, almost half (46%) of the smoke alarms had missing or disconnected batteries.
- Dead batteries caused one-quarter (24%) of the smoke alarm failures.
